On common usage, liberal is associated with the view that “liberal” political parties promote live and let live social morals, whereas in political and economic usage it has a real definition of someone who is in favor of laissez faire free markets under capitalism, without government intervention.

Aren’t all anti-communist activities money laundering schemes?

This is a good summary. To simplify/describe it slightly differently, the definitions of capitalism and communism and socialism decribe the relationships between workers and the value of the work that they do.

Under capitalism, owners own the business and employ workers who are paid wages. The value of the products or services that the workers make is more than they are paid - and this extra value produced (profit) goes back to the owner. Thus, you end up with two classes of people, the workers/wage laborers (proletariat in communist jargon), and the owners (bourgeoisie in communist jargon).

In socialism, the workers own the businesses, and so the profit goes back to them instead of to the non-working owners. Thus in socialism, there is only the one class, the workers, and the bourgeoisie class has been removed.

This is extremely simplified, but I think describes the overall work and value relationships under the two systems.

I hope this helps too.

I am in a similar situation in that I often feel like I’m doing things wrong and could be reprimanded at any time. This is not how work is supposed to be structured, even by ghouls. Good managers give clear expectations, and regular, informal feedback. This actually makes their jobs better, because when people are comfortable they don’t hide problems - which is an action that can lead to huge failures later on.

So, I think what you’re experiencing is common, and is a byproduct of poor management. I have had good managers and the difference in work culture is astounding. One can be confident at work with good management.

Otherwise, you just have to assume you’re doing a good job, or you can actually just ask for clearer definition of goals and tasks, which might help.

This is an insane video.

Equating Hamas’ single action into Israel (not any kind of crime since they are an occupied people) with an actual genocide and sexual violence against Palestinians in Gaza over the last six months – and then saying, yeah but the IDF playing with women’s underwear might be a war crime maybe.

Like, maybe Israel literally shooting civilians, women, children, and destroying infrastructure, water, hospitals, schools, and killing aid workers, doctors, and torturing thousands of civilians prisoners, and displacing 90% of the population, and preventing access to medicine, food, water, is the actual thing that you should reporting on Reuters.

A rule that you have to have a certain word in a title or comment? That’s the silliest idea I’ve ever heard. Main.

I think its safe to assume that companies (in Florida, using exploitative labor already) will spend as little as possible on the safety of their employees

No it looks like it’s a ban on regulatory authorities from mandating heat protections on companies that go above state mandates. It reads to me like companies could still provide them, but are under no obligation to provide anything above the state mandates minimum. The headline is poorly written.

When they say agencies they mean local government bodies.

I don’t get it. Shouldn’t it be at least optional?

Edit: now that I read it, the ban is on municipalities mandating these protections.

On an interview setting, the best thing you can do is provide two or better three things about yourself - all of them relating to the job. These can be prepared in advance.

One (or two if you’re going to give three) should be repeating something on your resume, like some kind of training, course, job experience, or volunteer experience that relates. And saying that it was important to you because you were interested in the subject matter and you learned a lot.

The last one you can provide is something personal(ish) that relates to the job. It can be made up or exaggerated. Like, if you’re applying to a movie theatre say you really like movies and give an example - you used to go to see movies every week with your family or something. Or if it’s like a landscaping job talk about how when you were a kid you always loved helping in the family garden. If it’s not true who cares they can never check.

You can also provide as an additional one another quick unrelated thing if its interesting, like you into canoeing and competed in amateur canoe racing. Or like you play the tuba. It should be quick, and only mention it if theres something more than just “I like reading sci Fi”. Mention a specific book you read recently. If you’re lucky the interviewer will also be interested in whatever weird thing and that will.creatw some kind of bond. Worst case, it shows that you have perseverance or fortitude for sticking with something difficult.

I don’t fully understand why China doesn’t take a harder stance against worker exploitation.
